While Star Jones Reynolds dished more dirt on Larry King Live last night and the Today show this morning (pictured), EW spoke with ABC’s President of Daytime Brian Frons about The View scuffle. Let’s just say there’s no love lost between the network and Star. "If I have one regret, it’s that I didn’t press Barbara [Walters] to get rid of her when her connection to viewers hit an all-time low in November," says Frons. "Had we done that, there would have been no connection to the Rosie O’Donnell signing. It would have been really focused on what Star had done to herself." Yikes. The gloves are coming off! Pick up next week’s copy of Entertainment Weekly to read more behind-the-scenes details about Jones Reynolds’ departure from The View.

Who watches the View anyway? Doesn’t it come on at 9 or 10 am? Why aren’t these people at work??
Do you think that people who watch The View are employable?
You know, I can proudly say that I’ve never watched a minute of The View. I only knew Star from her dumb shoe commericals and the snark here on EW. But that said, it’s kind of fun to watch an good ol’ fashioned catfight take place in public. At least for once we’re not talking about Paris or Lindsay…
Drama Queen.
I still think that they should replace her with some conservative bit** (think Coulter) to really promote on-air cat fighting. I may hate her, but she’d really pep up that boring lovefest!!!
It is always fun to see someone get what is coming to them. She has been a conceited waste of tv space for a long time. Thank God she is gone!
I have seen this coming for some time now. Star Jones is the most conceited woman on the planet who believes she’ s God’s gift to talk tv. She never accepts responsibility for how she come across because she’s too much in love with herself to care. Aa a true Christian, I can tell you it’s a sin to proclaim yourself holier than thou to everyone around and think you are God’s chosen one. Star needs a lesson in humility and thank goodness and got a swift kick in the pants.
Take a moment to think about what is going on in this world today, and then realize that Star Jones is just trying to get more publicity for herself…..She should be ashamed of herself, and more important, she must think that the majority of us are complete idoits………….GET OVER YOURSELF STAR!
I have only seen the View twice (I was sick), not really a fan. I did see Star on the red carpet, I did not like her as a red carpet reporter. I did see her on the Today show and thought she was a class act, I liked she said good things about Ms. Walters, and she viewed it as a business decision, I thought she did rather well. I like the attitude of moving on with the new chapter in her life. Somehow I don’t think the media will let her move so quickly.
You can’t get any more real than this! I want to thank Star Jones for actually giving the American public a real Cat Fight! None of this made up crap that Paris and Lindsey create behind closed doors. None of the fake fighting between Nicole and Paris, Aniston and Pitt and the Sheen/everyone crowd.
You go Star, because after this, you’re are going to be religated to cable informercials. You’re the next Susan Summers!

I love Star & I am sorry she quit the View,I will never watch the view again if Rosie goes on it,Sorry
The Larry King interview was painful to watch. LK was asking the questions people want answers to, but Star did her best not to answer. Didn’t help Star’s case, IMHO. Talk about tap-dancing in a minefield!
Star, just shut up and move on.
I just saw CNN news and on it Star said that she wanted the truth for the viewer, How about the truth when she had the surgery for the weight loss? Funny how NOW, SHE WANTED THE VIEWER TO HAVE THE TRUTH!!!!!!
Some of us work nights, dudes, so for us, The View is like Prime Time. I would question the employability of those who watch 2 and a Half Men… Which, by the way, get 5 times the ratings The View does. Meredith I will miss you…
